Cake & Cupcake Photo Gallery

I was honored to create a dessert display for Grace & Thomas' September wedding at Bill Miller's Castle in Branford, and I surprised the couple with this miniature tiered wedding cake in my signature Chocolate Peanut Butter Heath Bar flavor profile. rustic wooden accessories, and fresh flowers and herbs.  Who says wedding cakes must be white? Size: 6" bottom, 4" top, serves 16+.

A handmade bunny topper and palette-knife painted first birthday cake in vanilla and strawberry.  Because the bunny was made in gumpaste, which dries solid, it also became a keepsake with which, I'm told, the little birthday girl is totally fascinated.  Client photo.  Size: 8" bottom, 6" top, serves 30+

Winter is my favorite season, especially when it snows, so I was beyond excited to create a soft pink and metallic snowflake cake for Emmy's first birthday in December!  Settled among glittery pink trees and a snowy backdrop, this chocolate and strawberry cake made a stunning centerpiece with all its hand-cut snowflakes and hand-painted faultlines. Size: 8" bottom, 6" top, serves 30+.

Wedding cakes can be tall and statuesque, tiny and delicate, or anything in between.  This one, a carrot cake, was perfect for Kim & Ralphie's at-home spring wedding.  To achieve the shades of blue in the bride's palette, we used silk florals, a ribbon-and-pearl border, and added a custom wooden topper.  Size: 8", serves 20+.

Boho-chic, pale pink neutral palette, and a little glam to welcome two new little girls into the world!  This lemon-strawberry number was just right for Eva's summer baby shower, and she added her own cake topper to the front. Size: 6", serves up to 15.

Gabriella's 30th birthday cake was a glamorous explosion of pink, including candy lipsticks, Lindt truffles, and Ghirardelli squares - plus, confetti cake with vanilla buttercream is pretty spot on for a fun-loving Barbie girl! Size: 10" bottom, 6" top, serving about 50.

I DO believe in fairies! A whimsical fairy garden, complete with a tiny door for the fae, draped in fresh flowers and herbs, with little details tucked all over, this cake is one that I look at over and over and still find new favorite bits. Size: 8", serves about 20.

The perfect birthday cake for a hard-working gentleman: a hand-painted, all-buttercream tree stump with a custom black wood topper.  I've done a few of these over time and they are in my top 10 favorite cake styles.  Each one is unique, but the reaction is the same every time: "it's REALLY CAKE?!" Yes, it really is! Size: 6", serves up to 15.

If you can't get enough of the chocolatey, marshmallowy, ooey-gooey goodness that is a S'more, look no further than my S'mores Cakes, which reflect the flavor in their design!  A graham cracker cake filled with chocolate ganache, topped with my homemade marshmallows and torched to perfection, this is one for the record books. Size: 6", serves up to 15.

After the devastation caused by Hurricanes Helene and Milton in the Fall of 2024, the Kitchen raised over $900 which was donated to the American Red Cross to assist in the recovery efforts.  All donors were entered into a cake raffle, and this was one of the results, combining one of my favorite styles (vintage heart cakes) with my signature flavor (chocolate peanut butter heath bar.) Size: 8" heart, serves up to 20.

Jessica & Sean had a truly spectacular Fall day for their wedding, which included an assortment of cupcakes for their guests to enjoy.  These lemon raspberry cupcakes were topped with house-made dried lemon slices and freeze-dried raspberries, plus a little gold sugar for bling.  My heartfelt thanks to photographer Sarah Barbagallo of Sarah B Photography for capturing this gorgeous shot as dessert was served that evening! Cupcakes by the dozen.

When Maeve and Everly turned one, they celebrated with an outrageous display of dessert, including these beachy cupcakes topped with graham cracker sand, white chocolate shells, and buttercream waves. Cupcakes by the dozen.

Make them pale pink, and glamorous, and top them with glittering sugar pearls and shimmer.  Rose gold is a popular color palette for a reason, and it was stunning on these cherry almond chocolate chip cupcakes with buttercream frosting. Cupcakes by the dozen.

I've known Jen since high school, so her chocolate 40th birthday cake had to be extra special. With an array of hand-piped flowers, this little buttercream beauty was just right for a spring birthday. Size: 6", serves up to 15.

All the succulents on this special birthday cake were piped by hand in buttercream for Jessica's celebration in the Fall.  No two are exactly alike, and the entire cake featured crawling vines and tiny details all over.  Size: 6", serves up to 15.

The great thing about custom cakes is that they are, well, CUSTOM.  So creating an ocean/lobster-themed cake in chocolate peanut butter with Reese's Pieces in the filling is totally ON the table!  Check out these adorable little lobsters, hand-made from fondant, and all the chocolate sea stones, anchors, and more! Size: 10", serves 30+.
